Math, Dot2Dot Career Day
My name is Marijo and this is my reflection. I am a very generous about things, I love to play sports and listen to music and I love to act many people say that I am good at it. I can’t sing, but I know that I can rap and I love to do these activities. I am a very progressive person. People tell me that I like to see things progress and I think that they are right about that. I love to see change.
I read my renzulli article about me and what I read from it sounds like me. I love the fact of how it explained all of my acheevments and my dreams and what I love to do. I was not impressed with anything because well that is how I would describe my self. The things that I read about me is how I love to act and love music and play sports that sounds just like me and I love the way how I am just me. I think if some one reads it they would think you know wow, This kid is serious about her life and what she would love to do.

But have I have ever experienced prejudice yes I have because once in fifth grade I have been sitting in my class room and well I knew a boy named Kymani he was being Prejudice he was black and told me that he does not like black people. I was angry but I wouldn't do anything about it because it is funny tht someone says that. I feel like I have over come a lot of things ever since that day happen.
I the book monster in the trial with Steve was not fair because he is black and young... so of course he is in trouble and up for being killed or staying in jail for life.

Name Calling!
Marijo Alves
April 24,2009
I think that people should not call people names because it causes people to think bad about them selves. But I do think that it was some of his friends because he did not pick his friends wisely. If he had more sense to not be there then I think he would of made it alive.
When you call people named it affects them and makes them feel wrong about them selves. I know sometimes people might get annoying and get you angry but people bully because they might be living a bad life or feel bad about them selves.
I over stand that a lot of people yes a lot of people take suicide on them selves. Then when they die the person that was teasing them now feels sorry for them and wish it can be undone. So here is my advice think be for you acted because it is not good to talk about people or call them names. CHOOSE YOU FRIENDS WISELY AND DON'T TEASE ANY ONE; DON'T SAY THINGS WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO END UP APOLOGISING.

Proportions
Aim: How do we solve proportions by using cross products?
In class I have been learning about proportions to find the answer we had to cross multiply. That way was better and not that confusing, Cross multiplying is easier for me because it makes tings more organized and easier for you to solve.
2 x
-- = ---
3 12 ; 2x = 36; x = 18.
There is a lot of things wrong with this. First of all the problem is disorganized. First she needs to cross multiply. 12 x 2= 24 so your problem should now look like this. 3x = 24 no you do inverse operation instead of multiplying you do the opposite divide. 24/3 equals 8 so x equals 8.
If you don't understand here is another problem for you.
6:45 and 2:15 are ratios but you can make them into fractions.
6 2
--- = ---
45 15
now we are going to find out weather this is proportional or not.
First you have to cross multiply. 15 x 6 =90
45 x 2 = 90 theses are equal, So yes these ratios are proportional.

HYPERBOLE
Today is class we learned about hyperbole it was fun. Hyperbole is exaggeration.
"Your dog is so old the devil said I don't have any space for her,
Your dog is so ugly god wanted his time back."
People use it to make things sound funny and they just over exaggerate. Everyday people use it like his feet is as big as a boat you know. I have learned these Metaphor
Simile
Alliteration
Onomatopoeia
Idiom
Figurative Language
But lets not forget about hyperbole and how fun it might be. My favorite is all I can say.

IDOMS
Today in class I learned about idoms it is a type of phrase you say for example an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth it does not means that you are looking at someones eye and another eye and touching a tooth and another tooth. It was kind of fun but I think I already knew that our phrases were real I mean I was not born yesterday.
